Ukrainian Infantry Clearing Fighting Positions
Published 1 years ago
Helmet-cam footage of soldiers of the 3rd Assault Brigade clearing Russian fighting positions in a tree line. The fighting holes and bunkers are in a cluster of woods with thick underbrush, and the infantry pick their way through, pumping rounds and tossing grenades into each position. The video ends with a brief glimpse of the interior of one of the bunkers. This footage demonstrates the tedious nature of clearing defenses and reminds me of advice provided by a former boss: “never send a man where you can send a bullet.”
